Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi, Amalfi Coast · March 25, 2009

Take a Virtual Drive on the Amalfi Coast!


Visualizzazione ingrandita della mappa

This morning I was very happy to read over at Bell’Avventura that Google Maps street view has come to the Amalfi Coast. And they picked a lovely, sunny day to make their visit! You can click along the white arrows to take a virtual drive along the Amalfi Coast and do a 360 wherever you stop. How fun! My first stop was the Piazza Duomo in Amalfi, where the map above begins. (You can move around by clicking the image right in this post, or head over to the Google Maps site to have a better view.) I had so much fun poking around and seeing people I recognized in Amalfi’s main piazza before taking a tour around Piazza Flavio Gioia. You can follow the road both directions out of Amalfi, either toward Atrani or toward Positano. I followed the road virtually to my front door. Well, about 60 or so steps from my front door! No sign of the car. It made me wonder where I was and what I was doing on this day? Buon divertimento! Have fun!

    Ciao Katerina! So happy to hear you enjoy the blog! Moving to Florence sounds lovely. I haven’t been there yet, but I have been dreaming about it. Hopefully this May I will be able to visit! I will have to ask your tips for a short visit before I head north. 🙂

    Say, are you from Minnesota? I noticed on your website you went to St. Mary’s in Winona. I am not from MN, but I went to grad school at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Thanks for stopping by and saying ciao!

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂

Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
